ARTS


It was a wonderful experience to visit an art gallery in Nottingham, where I have never frequenting any art gallery multiple, I was visiting exhibitions paintings only, especially those related to drawing realistic, like the exhibitions of the famous Libyan Artist Awad Obeida, who is known in Europe and the world in general.

When I entered the gallery I have formed a group of impressions, but all are in one direction is an attempt to comprehend. I have found many artifacts that suggest to the viewer multiple ideas and to excite a desire to think. On the one hand I do not consider all what I saw as an art, due to the exhibition included some of the work are exaggerated, for example, the line on the wall or a piece of tin lying on the ground, or the coins, I do not find all of these works of art.

But on the other hand I found a group of outstanding work, the work that I found it the most imaginative is the electronic billboard that blends the colors green, black, included the stunning color and black with wave’s raises a lot of fantasies in your mind as a viewer. The work is the aesthetically pleasing the first three paintings which were taken from English Nature, these works belong to the realist school in the art, and I like this kind of Arts. The amazing and striking work in my opinion is the old recording device and the long-playing record “L.P”, as I lover of music have attracted me this work, because I know that people who like music really, not like the music only, but also like the devices, which are they hear the music through them, my big brother still keeps the long-playing records and he does not like to use the CD’s also he doesn’t like to listen to music through the computer or IPod or use the MP3, and finds that these inventions may be distorted the music and ruined people’s tastes in listening to music, that is why I think that the author of this work tries to convey his idea of love for these things that ceased to exist in the present day. I remember that my brother was always like to listen to the song “Video killed the radio star”:

I heard you on the wireless back in fifty two, lying awake intent at tuning in on you, if I was young it didn’t stop you coming through, they took the credit for your second symphony, rewritten by machine and new technology, and now I understand the problems you can see, I met your children, what did you tell them?, video killed the radio star, video killed the radio star, pictures came and broke your heart.

The best work I've seen and the most controversial, is the work of Charles Avery, who portrays the black hunter cast his rifle on the ground, embracing a white girl. I According to my understanding of the work, the artist wants to convey a message is the earth is a planet for all, and that all races have the right to live, and the color of the skin is not barrier in communication between human beings as long as love exists between them, and that the gun lying on the ground, symbolizing the rejection of violence, throw weapons and live in peace.

  1. Nagi - there are some great ideas here and the exhibition obviously made you think. I'm really glad you liked it! I especially like your comments about Charles Avery, it's an insightful interpretation. Just watch your grammatical structures.
